About Jennifer Broussard

My Personal Experience Jennifer-Picture
The Dissolution of My Own Marriage:
In my own divorce in 1978, my husband and I worked it out ourselves and then my lawyer took me to Court to enter the paperwork. It was dreadfully painful for us, but we accomplished this dreadful task without any degrading mean-spiritedness. Each of us walked away knowing we had honored the love which once existed between us, though we might not have felt that love at the end of our marriage. The field of mediation was in its infancy throughout the nation at that time and Collaborative Law was not even a gleam in Stu Webb’s (the originator of the Collaborative Law concept) warm little heart.

Then I Became a Lawyer:
Then I became a lawyer and learned my profession at the feet of one of the acknowledged finest litigators in the State of Texas. I have seen the destruction of the economic and emotional lives of participants brought about by the litigation process because I have been a participant in that process.
